Example of Test Driven Development with C++ and Google Test
To develop a software based on “Test Driven Development” one should follow the following steps:
1 2 3 4 |
1)Write enough failing Test Code (include compile time and run time failures) 2)Write Production code to pass the failing tests. 3)Refactor the production code and verify the same with existing test. 4)Go to step 1 |
so let say we want to develop a binary search tree, here I’m using Google Test. Step 1, Write enough failing Test Code so the first step would be something like this:

class testingTree: public ::testing::Test { protected: testingTree(){} ~testingTree(){} void SetUp(){} void TearDown(){} }; TEST_F(testingTree,makeTree) { std::shared_ptr<Tree> tree=makeTree(); EXPECT_NE(tree.get(),nullptr); } int main(int argc, char ** argv) { testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv); return RUN_ALL_TESTS(); } |
Step 2, Write Production code to …

try { some code } catch (Exception e) { throw e; } catch (...)//... will catch any exception { throw; } |
C++ Standard Exceptions
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
1)std::bad_alloc 2)std::bad_cast 3)std::bad_exception 4)std::bad_typeid 5)std::logic_error 5-1)std::domain_error: exception thrown when a mathematically invalid domain is used. 5-2)std::invalid_argument 5-3)std::length_error 5-4)std::out_of_range 6)std::runtime_error: An exception that theoretically cannot be detected by reading the code. 6-1)std::overflow_error : The only standard library components that throw std::overflow_error are std::bitset::to_ulong and std::bitset::to_ullong. 6-2)std::underflow_error 6-3)std::range_error |

Finding Memory leaking, Stack and Heap overflow
When you access an array index, C and C++ don’t do bound checking. Segmentation faults only happen when you try to read or write to a page that was not allocated (or try to do something on a page which isn’t permitted, e.g. trying to write to a read-only page), but since pages are usually …
